The smartest investor in the room just reminded us that hype and value are two very different things.

Michael Burry — the man who called the 2008 crash — is now warning about Nvidia. Not because AI is fake. Because the gap between what's being sold and what's actually delivering results is massive.

Sound familiar?

You've probably felt this already. The tool that was supposed to change everything sits unused. The consultant moved on. The $200/month keeps quietly leaving your account.

That's not a failure of intelligence. That's a failure of honest expectation-setting — and the industry has a lot to answer for.

Here's what Burry's warning actually signals for business owners like you: the AI gold rush rewards the sellers, not necessarily the buyers. Infrastructure companies profit whether your investment works or not.

Which means the burden of proof falls on you to demand real results before real money.

The practical move right now: before your next AI purchase, write down one specific business problem you want solved in 30 days. Not "improve efficiency." One measurable outcome. If a tool can't demonstrate progress on that single thing, it's not ready for your business.

What's the one problem you'd most want AI to solve in your business this year?
